Twin brothers William and Alastair Peake have grown TwinPeakes Fly Fishing into a thriving enterprise on Royal Deeside. Founded five years ago at Milton of Crathes, the company has expanded from a two-person venture into a business with six full-time staff and additional part-time guides.
Services include tuition, guided fishing trips and outdoor cooking equipment, with their team now also managing a beat, a stretch of fishing water, on the River Dee at Crathes Castle.
The business saw strong growth during the pandemic as demand for outdoor activities increased.
The domed brick drum on the north bank of the Clyde, opposite the Radisson RED at the SEC campus, is to open again in May 2027 as The Rotunda and Roundhouse.
